The bass player uses an Ampeg 8 x 10 which is even more rediculouse
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Nearly, I use a JCM900 2x12 combo with a 1x12 Duotone on top of it, so it's a 3x12! I'm always mic'd up so it's purely for idiotic reasons.
I "downsized" for a while to a 2x12 and had an overwhelming urge to lie on the floor while I was playing.
In order to hear anything you have to put it on something 2x12-sized, so you may as well put it on two more speakers and put all four in the same box.
I always run 4x12s open-backed too, you can play quietly and still hear it everywhere but you still get that lovely cabinet "thud" on damped low notes.
Transport is no problem either, only something truly shit like a Smart car will not take a 4x12.

That gave me an idea…

On a slightly different tack, I'm getting nostalgic for the Marshall 4x12 PA columns I used to gig with, they were the most consistent and easy to set up small PA I've ever gigged with and I never had placement or directionality issues with them.
I've often thought of building something similar, but with the bottom pair as a guitar cab.
They come up for sale fairly often and usually don't sell for much. Of course you can sell the valuable original guitar-type drivers for enough to make the whole project just about cost-neutral too . Assuming they haven't been blown or pinched already, of course.
In fact I've just asked a friend whether he still has the old Marshall 2x10" mini columns I sold him a few years ago and if he still wants them...
